The Knowledge Translation for Employment Research (KTER) Center at SEDL, and its partner at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), conducted an online survey of staff in state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies regarding their knowledge and use of evidence-based practice (EBP). This webcast presents our findings from 6 states, reporting state differences concerning the use of research and discussing EBP in employment services for individuals with disabilities.
